The People's Choice Award is a special recognition presented to the personality who garnered the highest number of votes from the general public. Mr. Richard Abbey Jnr., CEO of XO-DUS Communications and the organizer of the awards, explained the significance of this accolade before presenting it to Basil David Anthony.
